Trying to figure out how to get to the rear Ford badge. There are no screws directly behind it (like I expected) but these photos show the closest screws to it. My only concern is that there are identical screws like this around the trunk panel that make me think they have nothing to do w/ the badge. Any help would be appreciated!

This is my only other thought on how to get to the badge.

I don't know for sure but I just took my Ford badge off on my first gen Focus today and it is just a glue on. My guess is that you badge is the same and all you have to do is get behind it with a screw driver and it should come right off without damaging the badge. I have already had mine on and off a couple times and those badges are durable.

I think it's be sweet to change the oval's colours. On my future white ride, black "Ford" and a white oval would be pretty sick...

Anyone have the part number for the badge?

I think it's just glued on but there are still holes behind it. but i like the idea of pulling off the SE or in my case the "ZTS." That didn't have any holes behind it did it?

haha ??? I have no clue but I was thinking the same thing that's how they were on the zx2 thought it'd be similar.

figured the posts were like a guide to make sure you put it back on straight. maybe the person who had the car before me just glued it back on instead of screwing it on. when i pulled it off there was nothing holding the posts onto the car.

Most all emblems these days are held on with double sided foam tape. Warm it up with a hair dryer and use a piece of nylon fish line to slice the foam. Goof Off works great to remove the remains of the foam and adhesive.

Don't use Goof Off! You take the chance of taking off clear coat and even paint.

Spray WD-40 on a rag and rub the leftover sticky off. It works, and you don't have to worry about fading the paint.

I'm changing the blue to ingot silver, and the chrome to black. Possibly vice versa

Let me know if you get this to work. I contacted some people on the internet that make custom badges and all of them told me they could change the blue to any color I want, but not the chrome. I want to change the front and rear badge to sterling grey where the chrome is, and black on the inside.
